Making savings last after losing my job - 10 weeks in

We are a household of 9 and need to cut costs quickly. I worked as a mechanic before this. Rent and the car are the biggest costs.

Ask your utility about hardship programmes. Mine knocked a bit off my bill for several months.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 2 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
